PROGRAM SCHEDULE - CENTRAL

AVERAGE JOE: THE JOES STRIKE BACK --(9:00PM-10:00PM) --(TV-PG)

"Episode No.1 - Season Premiere"

NBC's popular relationship series is back with more twists, turns, conflict and competition than ever before. Once again, an unsuspecting model - this time, a stunning redheaded beauty named Anna -- thought she was on a traditional dating show, only to be surprised by a swarm of average Joes. Three of the most popular former "Joes" return for the premiere to coach the new Joes through boot camp and prepare them for their introduction to Anna, while Anna tours her new home - a $15 million super yacht off the California coast. Later Anna gets the surprise of her life meeting the men who will be wooing her, and spends more time with them at an evening cocktail party before deciding which Joes she'll be sending home. Then one of the eliminated Joes is chosen to get a whole new look - and a chance to later return to the competition. The six-episode series is a production of NBC Universal Television Studio and Krasnow Productions. Stuart Krasnow ("Average Joe 1-4," "Weakest Link") and Andrew Glassman ("Average Joe 104," "Three Wishes") are the executive producers.
